Sofas, water taps, ACs missing after Tejaswi Yadav vacated official bungalow in Patna: BJP
Patna/IBNS: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has claimed that Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejaswi Yadav's vacated official bungalow in Bihar's Patna has sofas, water taps, washbasins, air conditioners, lights, and beds missing, suggesting that the items have been "stolen".
The RJD has hit back asking the BJP to release the inventory.
Yadav vacated the bungalow on Monday as it is allotted for the Deputy Chief Minister, a post he held when his party was in alliance with Nitish Kumar.
The development comes days before Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary moves into the bungalow at 5 Deshratan Road in Patna, previously held by Tejashwi Yadav.
Chaudhary will move into the new house on the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashami.
Responding to the claims, the RJD has asked the BJP to get the Bhawan Nirman Vibhag to release the inventory, failing which they should apologise.
"The leader of opposition in Bihar assembly has vacated the 5 Deshratan Marg bungalow. The Bhawan Nirman Vibhag must release the inventory. We have all the evidence. Our people, along with media, were also making a video. We challenge you to release the inventory or apologise if you can't do that," said Shakti Yadav, national spokesperson, RJD.
Union Minister Giriraj Singh, who represents Begusarai in Bihar, also slammed the RJD leadership and demanded a detailed probe into the matter.
"Samrat Chaudhary has been allotted this bungalow and was to shift to this house in Navratri. Essentials such as wash basins, water taps, and furniture are missing. The hydraulic bed has been taken away. The mat in the badminton court has been taken away. The gym is empty, there are no exercise machines. Foundation's lights have been taken off," claimed Danish Iqbal, Bihar BJP's Media In-charge, who also inspected the premises.
